Cruel Reality [B1A4 Fanfic]

The Career

A/N: Hyungdon's twin daughter's will be older here than in real life :) Enjoy reading~

Julie's POV

"Julie!" I paused from the stairs.
"Hm?"
"We're going somewhere tomorrow morning. Be up by 6, arasseo?" Hyungdon-ssi said.
"Ne, arra. Annyeonghi Jumuseyo. (Goodnight)" I made my way to my room to be stopped by Yuha, the older among the twins.
"Eonniee. Play with me?" I couldn't resist her cuteness so I did.
Yuju, the younger, insisted that she should be included in our kitchen play.
The two argued who will be the chef. They look so adorable.
The little flame of happiness I felt died as thoughts of Yoora invaded my mind.
I almost got attached to these kids like I was to Yoora.
Psh. I shouldn't. I won't.
From now on. No more attachments. No more.
Deo isangeun eobseo.

"Annyeong, Hyung. What do you need?" Infinite's manager asked when we came to Woollim Ent. Building.
"Talk with CEO." And he gestured at me. I bowed in respect.
"Ah you already talked about that, no need to schedule an appointment." Manager-nim said.
"Yah, when did I say anything about scheduling an appointment? I'm just gonna barge right in there. Sujeong-ah stay here, you can roam around if you want, just make sure to check your phone and answer if I call, arraseo?" He ranted.
"Ne, arraseo hyungdon-ssi." I replied.
He walked away then turned back around.
"And Sujeong,"
"Ne?"
"Call me appa." And then he turned to walk away.
I stood there astounded for a few seconds before a loud voice brought me back to reality.
"Ah! Neo.."
I jolted out of my trance and turned to look at the man.
It was.. was Woohyun? Yeah, I think it is. The one who sings high notes.
"You're Hyung's daughter, right? It was nice to meet you then!" He showed his cute dimples.
I faked a smile in return.
I bowed and went the other way to roam around.
"Yah, jamkkanmanyo!" Woohyun-ssi ran up to my side.
"Waeyo?" I cocked my head at him while walking.
"Nothing. Just wanna chat for a bit." He smiled again. I instinctively smiled back. His smile was contagious.
We small talked about everything. The weather, the news, the latest trends. He was nice to talk to.
He suddenly stopped at a door and waved.
"Gotta practice. Annyeong Sujeong-ah." He smiled again.
I waved back and went my way after taking a peek inside where infinite was practicing some dance.

I entered random rooms just because I felt like it but I stopped by one of the record rooms to marvel at the advanced technology.
"Why are you here?"
I jumped in surprise.
"Ah.. a-annyeonghaseyo. J-jang Sujeong imnida." I bowed.
"Ah Jang Su Jeong? Are you the youtube girl?" She harshly asked.
"Eh? Ah.. eh.. Eh?! A-aniyo.. Naneun.." I stuttered.
Ugh, wth was wrong with me?
"I... Aish! Yes, I am." Finally I found my voice.
"Oh. Good, then get out 'cause you're not supposed to be here." She said pointing out the door.
"Um, joesonghamnida." I bowed and hurriedly got out.
I sighed. What the heck?! That was... a very disturbing experience.

"Yeoboseyo?" I answered a call.
"Sujeong? Eodigayo?" Hyungdon asked.
"Ah.." I looked around, I wasn't really good with directions. I peeked in the room in front of me.
"In front of a room with girls dancing." I said.
"Alright. Somebody's gonna come to pick you up. Stay there, arra?"
"Ne, I'll be right here."

"Bwo?" I asked in surprise. I turned to look at Hyungdon.
He just smiled.
"We already decided on it. You'll start practicing tomorrow. We already prepared everything, the songs, the choreography, everything. We just need you to present it. Can you do it?" The CEO asked.
I didn't want to do it but I knew that this was the reason Hyungdon adopted me.
I just nodded in response.
He smiled. "Very good. You should familiarize with your new manager. Call her in."
My eyeballs almost popped out from my face.
"Finally accepted it, youtube girl?"
It was the same woman who coldly kicked me out from one of the rooms.
"Your manager is a professional, Sujeong-ssi. Oh Eun Ha."
"Ah.. Annyeonghaseyo." I said nervously.
"And Sujeong-ssi. We're going to decide your stage name, arra? Now go and familiarize yourself with korean pop songs. I'm pretty sure you'll need to be knowledgeable about it to survive in this kind of industry. You will also attend Seoul School of Per--"
"Andwae." I cut him off.
"I don't want to. I have my own preferred school." I explained.
"You'll have a hard time managing school and career. If you go to SOPA it'll be fine but in other schools... We don't hold your schedules there." He replied.
"Gwaechanayo. I'll handle it."
"Sujeong-ah--"
"I'll handle it." I cut Hyungdon off from speaking any furthur.
"I already decided on it. Mianhe." I told everybody and bowed 90º.
"Alright. But remember that we already warned you. And you should never neglect your career."
"Ne." I bowed and we went home.

"You should just attend SOPA, Sujeong. What school is in your mind?" Hyungdon asked over dinner.
"Seoul National University. It's the best school around that will take me to my dream Psychology school. I'm already in grade 10. I'll be in grade 11 this year here in Korea, I should be thinking about college."
"But you're going to be an idol, Sujeong! You won't have time for college!"
"What am I supposed to do? Give up on my dreams?" I retorted.
Everyone was silent.
"Mianhamnida." I said and ran to my room.

I sighed as I lay in bed.
I should just listen to Hyungdon. He adopted me for this reason.
Well, it's not like I asked him to adopt me but...
I fell asleep as I thought of that.

"Are you even a Korean? Any normal korean knows this song and you're telling me you don't know?" The choreographer, Min Han Jae, asked.
"I'm only half Korean and yes, I don't know."
"Ha! That's very funny." She rolled her eyes.
"Alright. I'll give you this week. You will learn every kpop song, artist and entertainment for the whole week and if you don't..." She trailed off.
"Just don't tell your manager." She added and handed me a tablet.
And my kpop school started.

***
"Very good" Hanjae eonni clapped.
I've memorized facts, songs and dances about a hundred artists and groups for the past week.
"You're a really good dancer. And learner too. Now let's start on your own choreo. Since you already memorized your song, now you have to express the emotion in it through dancing." She said.
I sighed. I'm already tired from all the dancing.
And tomorrow is my first day in school.
I sighed again.
"Are you listening, Sujeong?"
"Ne."
This was now the welcome mat in this new life I started.

***
I sat down as the teacher entered.
Everybody introduced theirselves and classes started.
I went to school in the morning, I practice at dusk till nightfall.
That was my everyday schedule for a whole month.
I get really tired easily and I have acute asthma but I endured all of it because I have to.

I know it was near impossible to just get in an entertainment in a minute and debut after a month.
But it happened to me.
Jung Hyungdon made it happen.

Now I realize his influence in this industry.
He wasn't even signed in Woollin Ent!
But he got me in with no problem.
And my debut is a week away.
After that, I just hope everything works out well.
